Bookbinding

Creative binding / exclusive binding

An example of our original interpretation of florentic bookbinding with gemstones.

How should books be bound to achieve creative and magical results?

What key factors should be taken into account when binding and rebinding?

Why is it so important in binding to harmonize covers with books?

Our artistic bindings are done to match where and when the action happened or when it was written. In our bibliophile bindings we pay special attention on contents, thoughts and ideas found in the book. If all is in harmony books become more friendly, irresistible and useful since contents and thoughts can be well assimilated with ease.

William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew. Purple suede with inlays of red, light violet and gold beige leather in artistic decorative renaissance design. This creation was inspired by florentic binding.

We use the best quality material such as silver, gold, stones, velum, hand made papers, leather, silk and other fibers. This contributes to the exceptionally unique nature of our bibliophile and artistic bindings.

Most of our clients ask for our exclusive bindings to use as presents for others and some ask for Contemporary bindings as well. Some of our clients are The H S B C, The Citibank, IBM, HP, Hotel Sheraton, Becton Dickinson, Late Pope John Paul the second and Benedict the sixteenth, The Polish President, The Polish Government and some lovers of books.

Our design bindings are always justified artistically and intellectually. This allows us to achieve the best results.

Start binding your most important and favorite books creatively and exclusively now. Do it for yourself and as presents for others. These exclusive books as presents are unusual and people show indefinite gratitude for them.

Conservation of old prints

Conservation of works of art including books is a laborious task requiring very comprehensive knowledge, practice and skills. Since 1989 our art studio has been repairing valuable old printings thus restoring their beauty.

For years, old printings of the Pomeranian Academy of Pedagogy were repaired in our artistic bindery and everything had to be done so that there were no traces of any changes of the printings.

Old books have been entrusted to us by many collectors, and some of the books received new bindings. French bookbinders often repair old printings in the same way for the National Library in Paris. In fact old printings often do not have original antique binding from the epoch because of the continuous repairs of the bindings and printings over the centuries. Nowadays it is not necessary to make new bindings look like bindings in that epoch.
We like the brave French approach to old printings.
